Wouah !

Je dois dire que pour ce dernier tome je n’avais pas d’attente particulière mais Wouah quoi !!!!
L’histoire est vraiment originale et sort de nulle part j’ai vraiment ADORÉ ! Ce livre est un petit bijou !
Une héroïne badass avec un gros méchant pas méchant, c’est tout ce qu’on veut !!!

Un tome qui conclut parfaitement cette saga COUP DE CŒUR ❤️❤️

Je n’ai qu’une chose à dire, foncez la lire !

I love this series!! Another great historical read!! The Devil is ties to his roots and reputation, uses as a shield to keep out the precious things in life but when he kidnaps Grace she begins to break down this facade. It was an enjoyable read and I loved reading how Grace was fight her way to what she and If It both deserve!!

This one felt like the most forgettable of the series, which is disappointing, because I had been looking forward to Grace’s story

This is a really good historical romance and I enjoyed it.Grace ran away from England with her sister Ava and has been living in Scotland since then has devoted her time to healing people.Kier is known as the Devil of Dunakin a feared warrior he will whatever it takes to keep his clan safe.When his nephew becomes sick he is sent to fetch the famed healer Mairi to help him, instead, he comes across Grace in a blizzard he rescues her from a pack of wolves but is injured and she heals him.I just loved the chemistry between these two they are just so good together but can they have a future?

Such a great story! I loved both characters so much. Grace was feisty and exactly the right person to slip beneath Keir's skin. Keir had a rough past and present, and definitely needed some happiness in his life. I loved how open they were with each other when alone and how they encouraged the best in each other. Highly recommended!

I’m pro recycling, but not in books.

This book is extremely similar to her book Highland Beast, I guess she wrote this one first and then tried it again with her newest. That’s unfortunate but I guess you can’t plagiarize yourself. This one was tighter, less boring and had better action overall, but something about this author’s plotting never quite wows me. This was a good, mindless listen because the narrator is amazing, but without him I think I’d be underwhelmed.

Notes on the similarities between this book and Highland Beast
1. Both heroes are the bringers of death or executioner for their clans.
2. Both were forced into the role by their fathers and are tortured by it.
3. Both heroines are healers; this one on the way to deliver a baby, the other one a midwife
4. Both heroes wear a scary mask when bringing the death(tm)
5. The heroine is the only woman not afraid of the hero because she doesn’t know who he is.
6. He keeps a cabin on the outskirts of the keep because the entire clan is terrified of him.
7. The meet cute involves a wolf attack and the heroine up a tree.

I’m actually glad I read this one after the newest one, because that was an arc and I would have had to trash it rather than just not loving it. I remember thinking the idea so original, ha! Please authors, find new ideas and keep track of your previous books. It’s great to have a consistent style, but recycling plots, characters and themes this closely is annoying to loyal readers.
